KBX Level-Up Weekender featuring Ramon Brito from Bulgaria, May 23-24, 2026
Take your bachata to the next level at the KBX Level-Up Weekender, an immersive dance experience designed to sharpen your technique, expand your skills, and deepen your understanding of bachata. This special weekend features guest instructor of Dominican descent, Ramon Brito, known for his many years of extensive knowledge in traditional Bachata music and dance. Ramon, who currently lives in Bulgaria with his wife and children, was raised between New York City and the Dominican Republic and brings over twenty years of professional teaching and performance experience in Bachata as well as other
Dominican dances: merengue, bolero, and Dominican
folklore. His knowledge and cultural experiences are truly invaluable.
Throughout the weekend, dancers will have the opportunity to attend 2–4 progressive workshops (depending on level selection) or enjoy full-access training, giving you the chance to focus on the concepts most relevant to your growth. These workshops are designed to break down technique, partner communication, movement efficiency, and creative expression so you can immediately elevate the quality of your dancing.
Your experience doesn’t stop in the classroom. The weekend also includes two vibrant social dance nights, where you can practice what you’ve learned, connect with fellow dancers, and enjoy the energy of the bachata community.
Whether you’re looking to refine your fundamentals or add new layers to your style, the KBX Level-Up Weekender will leave you with:
- Appreciation for Dominican Culture
- Improved musicality
- Refined technique and cleaner movement
- New skills and combinations you can use on the social floor
- Improved conceptual understanding of bachata and partner dynamics
- Confidence applying what you learn in real social dancing
- Fun memories and new connections with dancers from the community
✨ Private Lessons Available:
For dancers who want personalized feedback and accelerated growth, Ramon will also be offering a limited number of private lessons throughout the weekend. These one-on-one or couple sessions are a great opportunity to receive individualized coaching on technique, connection, musicality, styling, or specific goals you’d like to improve in your dancing. Availability is limited, so early booking is recommended.
Come train, dance, and grow with us for a weekend dedicated to leveling up your bachata. 💃🕺
